Cavetown - Self Control Lyrics






I'll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight
Noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white
You cut your hair but you used to live a blonded life
Wish I was there, wish we'd grown up on the same advice
And our time was right

Keep a place for me, for me
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
Keep a place for me, for me

Now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry
Some nights you dance with tears in your eyes
I came to visit, 'cause you see me like a UFO
That's like never, 'cause I made you use your self-control
And you made me lose my self-control, my self-control

Keep a place for me, for me
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
Keep a place for me, it's nothing, yeah it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing

I, I, I
Know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summertime, give up
Just tonight, night, night, night
I, I, I
Know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game
I know you got it, yeah

I, I, I
Know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summertime, give up
Just tonight, night, night, night
I, I, I (Keep a place for me, for me)
Know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game
I know you got it
(I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing)

I, I, I
Know you gotta leave, leave, leave
(Keep a place for me)
Take down some summertime, give up
Just tonight, night, night, night
(Keep a place for me)
I, I, I
Know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game
(It's nothing)
I know you got it, yeah
(It's nothing, it's nothing)

  11. S.... K....

    There is something so special to me about this cover at first I didn't think twice about when it came out but now I listen to it almost every day as I twiddle my thumbs in school ironically it helps me stay in control

  12. J.... ....

    The only reason the dreams are wet is because of the sea turtle and the ocean that comes with it

  13. G.... R....

    Does the turtle and the oyster have anything to do with oyster tom and turtle tom?

  50. S.... ....

    Love this song and you covered it bEAutifully

    I didn't expect this from you cavetown. Don't get me wrong, sing what you want and try new things, but give me a warning. 😵

  52. T.... S....

    This is my favorite song by frank ocean, my favorite singer doing a cover of it just makes it 10 times better

  53. J.... S....

    I enjoy watching your videos very much. They are so effective, but yet in the best way possible. Your music inspires me. It makes me feel like I can do great things. Your personality is amazing, and no matter how crappy my day was, you always put a smile on my face. I give my thanks to you. 🔅💛🧸
